Dice

Dice often touch chance surrendered to — fortune left to the roll, with misery trailing unlucky speculation. The dream may ask where you're gambling on outcomes you can't control, what you're risking on a throw, and whether someone you're trusting reveals their unworthiness in the careless way they play with what matters.
